I'm impressed.
:fuzgrin: Now I know what the "crab thing" on the card was... Bolamite is a good name (bolas+mite). Not fond of the trashtalking chipmonk idea though. Live ammo is WAY better than product ammo. I like the idea of Stranger shooting different animals from his crossbow. Good job OWI!

Polygon...The Oddworld Issue!
Unfortunately I'm yet to obtain the March Issue of Polygon, but our new member Shell Man has it, and he's scanned the cover for our viewing enjoyment. I'm mearly the lowly picture hoster. More pictures and transcript soon to come, whether by Shell Man...me...or Oddsville, it is unknown.

Can LorneLanning and crew successfully change gaming forever ?
In game making god 's name
Yes, they can! :fuzsad: |
The lush environments are back, people! :)
|
Yes indeed the lush envirorments are back as I drool thinking about Oddworld Stranger!:D
|
Yeah I know what you mean the game is starting to feel Oddworldish as we find more and more scarce info. I am at an ah for what I see so far. Its defenitly turning out to be eye candy.
I am still waiting for March's update on the official site. I just know something big is comming and I can feel it. Anyways thanks for these articles guys. You guys are numero uno in my book!:D Paramiteabe...:fuzblink: |
That hunters head suddenly reminds of of an alligator. Does anyone else see the likeness?
He also has funny ears and proper bullet ammo. |
The live ammo that has many different attibutes conformns to the fact that we saw stranger shoot something in the xfactor, and that the creature went to sleep (hence the z signs above its head)
|
I was amazed at that cover. I can't wait to see what's inside. The closer we get to Stranger, the more excited I get.
|
It's hard to put into words what i'm feeling right now.
|
BE-AU-TI-FUL!!!
this is perfect! I just want more! |
....
Glad you like 'em. I will scan and mail the other pages of interest today, and work on a transcript.
|
eh? you didnt put those pics up.
|
|
Skunkz = gas grenades
A-wrapnid = net Lug-slug = heavy slug shell chipmonk thingy = i dont know, politics? |
sounds good, but the options aren't realy innovative yet...
but I trust Oddworld on that one |
....
When I read about Stranger's boat, I instantly thought of the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, which has the coolest player/boat relationship I've ever seen. I think it would be cool if Stranger's boat mechanics are comparable to Link and his boat, not to mention most of the gameplay in Wind waker(Oddworld style of course.) Has anyone else played that game?
|
What have you read about the boat?

Shell Man delivers again. He took two pics and combined into one with a little enhancement. The guy in the shot is Production Designer, Silvio Aebischer.
http://www.angelfire.com/rings/oddguy/Polygon.jpg I just love the blob! http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...achmentid=1594 -oddguy :fuzcool: |
I just noticed the glukkon on the hunter's belt buckle. The warts on his stomach. The freckles all over the little assistant guy's face. QUite detailed and beautiful. I feel this helps to dissolve some of the worrying doubts that sprung up after the X Factor thing. Or whatever it was called.
Oh, and Shell Man/Oddguy, great job with getting the pictures up. |
...
I was glad to see the warrior versions of the two "native" types. It indicates that we may see a great deal of variety in Stranger, I'm also hoping that the addition of the Octigi on the upper right will mean they will be in the game as well. If my theory about multiple hunters is true, we might have quite a population of creatures in the next game:
Salimanders (regular and warrior classes) Frog Blobs (regular / warrior) Clakkerz Hunters ( including slug head, several tophat guys, ballcap guy, alligator face, horn head(s) and maybe even Shell Man ) Octigi ? Steef Live Ammo (5 or more types) Wartslogs (those things with the tusks) I would bet that we'll also see at least one species that we've already seen in previous games, it seems reasonable. All we need now are the diverse, lush environments that were missing in MO. |
Sarumai-appearing warrior salamanders... japanese style native hats on salamanders?
What culture do you think the salamanders is based off? ;) The pictures are really great! |
yay Silvio! I just love the vehicule he designed, (it's obviously his style).
I realy hope they will release all those production art in good quality, I felt in love ofr it! |
Those pics are just suppurb
|
GLOCTIGI! Maybe my wish a while back will be granted! I hope they :fuzgrin: are in the game, otherwise I will be disappointed, especially after seeing those desgins on the right of the first picture.
|
i like Shell Man, hes cool. nice infos and all, but can we trust him? j/k
|
Gloktigi? Someone enlighten me.
Is this a Gloktigi? |
I know. He seems to fit in almost too well after only eight posts...as if he's been watching us for a while before joining...to learn our ways.
:eek: Oh my gawd! Run for your lives! *runs away like an idiot* EDIT: *comes back* What am I saying? Shell Man is awesome! We can trust him.:D |
yup, Gloctigi and Octigis... hope fully we will have the whole Octigi Fammily (maybe except Glukkons) in the game!
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...achmentid=1542 |
Oh, that's right! I remember those! How could I forget? Silly me. :rolleyes:
|
They have another pic of one of the octigi, the same as one of the ones in Xav's pic. Unfortunately, its at the back in shadow - but nevertheless:
|
Oops, I think it's spelled gloktigi... Is that a "0.2" above the gloktigi? And how many different species of "hunter" are there going to be? Are those all designs for different characters or just different production skeches of one character? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
EDIT: Oh, Esus beat me to it. |
it's probably Gloktigi you are right.
maybe 0.1 and 0.2 are the same and 0.2 simply is in a "suit" and I think several hunters should be great! I realy want OWI to release some good pics of them, please some new Hi-Res! |
I think that the hunter with the searex(maybe?) tatoo is the same species as the ugly ears one. Mainly because of the jaw and the ugly ears. As far as I know there are three "official" hunter species. The first one we saw (the "grub"), the ugly eared ones and the tall hat, buck toothed ones. Are there any others we have seen renders off?
|
I don't think there are more shown yet, but maybe more are to come, and we will have some surprises (like the tatoo one which is totally new)
|
The Octigi
To the right of the Gloktigi is a chart of it's front and side views, which means that the design might have gone into the modeling phase(3D modellers use those charts to create the character in CG) So that hightens to likelyhood that we will see it in the game.
I'm sending the Live ammo chart today, and that's about it for the particularly interesting pics that were in the magazine, the rest are just pics of the Oddworld building, offices and staff. |
Everything does interest me!
(wow, I think I never posted on Oddblog that much in so less time) BTW: how expencive is the Polygon Mag? |
